It is widely celebrated, with different names, in many countries. Although it started as a
17、 religious holiday, it has lost its religious connections in the United States. It is now celebrated largely as a children“s day, and many American children look forward to it for days and weeks beforehand. The orange pumpkin is harvested at this time of year and is hollowed out, a funny face out in
18、to it and a candle placed inside, and put in the window as a decoration. City folks, nowadays, sometimes use paper pumpkins for decorations. Some years ago, the holiday was celebrated by dressing up in strange and frightening costumes and playing tricks on one“s neighbors and friends, such as ringin
19、g door bell, throwing bits of corn at window panes, and making small troubles in other ways. More recently, children have begun to go door to door to have friends and neighbors admire their costumes and give treats of candy, fruit or cookies. They say, “Trick or Treat“, meaning, “I will play a trick
20、 on you if you don“t give me a treat.“ This practice has even recently developed into an international activity.

24、 new airliner goes into service, every part of it is tested again and again. But there are two tests that are more important than all the others. One of them is very strange and the other is very dangerous. The first of these is called the “tank test“. A modern airliner must fly at very high altitud
25、es. Air must be pumped into the plane so that the passengers can breathe. The metal structure of the plane has to be very strong for this reason. When the plane is filled with air, or “pressured“, the air presses against the skin of the plane inside. The pressure on a small window, for example, is l

27、the plane is greater than it ever will be when it is in the air. Finally, there is an explosion. Engineers can discover which part of the plane has cracked. This part is made stronger.

31、s carried out under water because _.（分数：3.00）A.the pressure under water is greater than in the airB.the first Comets exploded in the waterC.it will be easier for engineers to find out where the crack isD.it can protect the testers from being injured(4).A test flight is dangerous because the test pil

34、 sense, students are consumers and the teacher is offering services. Students have the right to evaluate their teachers, and they usually do so at the end of each course.

35、 and organization of classes. Students are supposed to read required textbooks and recommended books before class. Without reading them, they will find it very difficult to understand the class.

36、 things very concretely (具体地) and clearly. Students are expected to apply what they have learned to their studies. Classes are usually divided into lectures and seminars. There are some lecture classes, where the teacher just gives a lecture, and students ask questions at the end. Most graduate leve
37、l classes are lectures and discussions. Participating in discussions is very important. Higher level classes involve very little lecturing. They emphasize discussion and presentation by the students.（分数：15.00）(1).According to the passage, good teachers should _.（分数：3.00）A.try to please their student
